[Geoserver-devel] Show sql (of sql view) in layer page

Hi Devs/Users,

Am I the only one with a lot of layers, forgetting which one is a sql
view and which ones are true tables?

When looking for a solution for problems, I often overlook the tiny
sentence: 'Edit sql view'
below the Feature Type Details, which let you actually know:
"THIS IS A SQL VIEW LAYER!"

I understand that 'editing' the view deserves it's own page, but it
would be nice (I think) if below the Feature Type Details in the layer
page we could see the actual query/sql statement used.

Is this easy feasible? Or does the layer page not easily get this
information (or is there another reason to NOT implement this (other
then time....))?
Even better: would it not be nice to jump to the 'edit sql view'
directly from the layer list page?

I know: just do it :slight_smile: But I want to know if this is easy doable, or am
I the only one having this issues...

Regards,

Richard Duivenvoorde

Hi Richard,
I cannot say I have had the same issue… personally, I would try to find ways to make it
more evident that something is a sql view without necessarily showing the entire SQL,
which on occasion can be very, very long.

Maybe a different icon? Or showing the SQL “on hover” and making the “edit sql view”
link somehow more evident? Or maybe show the sql inline with some sort of expandable toggle.

Just thinking out loud :slight_smile:

Cheers
Andrea
